Our Story

Courtney Thompson - Elevate Marketing NZ

Hey! I’m Courtney, your strategist and creative partner for results-driven marketing.

With nearly a decade of experience across strategy, socials, content, and web design, I help modern businesses cut through the noise and show up with clarity. I'm West Coast based, but work with brands all over NZ who are ready to do impactful marketing — with confidence, consistency, and a little fire.

I love a good espresso martini, a crisp pinot gris, and I’ll admit it... I’m a little pasta-obsessed. When I’m not building brands, you’ll find me with my dogs or horses, living the good life in between strategy sessions.

Let's Work Together

Why I Built Elevate Marketing

I started Elevate Marketing because I saw a gap in the options available to smart, modern businesses. Too often, they were stuck between hiring someone full-time who lacked experience (and came with the overheads), or getting lost inside a big agency where they were just a number. I wanted to offer something better for businesses... strategic, high-level marketing support that’s hands-on, flexible, and actually built around what growing kiwi brands need. I’ve worked both in-house, running campaigns & rebrands from the ground up, and as a consultant across industries from local trades to nationwide. I know what it takes to create marketing that not only looks good, but actually works, and I built Elevate Marketing to bring that to the businesses who need it most. When you work with me, you're not just hiring someone to post on social or tweak your website. You're getting a partner who sees the bigger picture, connects the dots, and brings energy, strategy, and creativity to every part of your brand. Elevate Marketing is for businesses who are ready to show up, stand out, and grow — with clarity, consistency, and a bit of spark.

Who I’m Here For

Greymouth is home, and I’ll always back West Coast businesses doing bold, brilliant things. I know what works in small communities, how to build trust, and how to help local legends grow. But Elevate Marketing was never meant to stay small-town. I now work with ambitious brands all over NZ, from startups to scaling service providers. Helping them get clear on their strategy, show up with confidence, and grow organically with purpose.

How I Make It Happen

When you work with Elevate Marketing, you work with me. No interns. No generic handovers. Just a marketing partner who sees the full picture from strategy to execution and brings creative, conversion-focused thinking to everything I do. Whether we’re launching your website, planning a campaign, or mapping out your next three months of content, I focus on your goals, your audience, and how to make your marketing work smarter. I offer everything from one-off projects to full monthly management depending on what your business needs. You’re not just hiring a contractor. You’re gaining a committed partner who works as an extension of your team. I bring senior-level strategy, hands-on support, and a genuine investment in your success. When your brand grows, so does mine. I’m not a big agency with layers of account managers or a one-size-fits-all playbook. There’s no fluff here. Just clear, consistent, community-driven marketing that’s built to align with your goals. My focus is on sustainable, organic growth. That means helping you build a strong, trust-based online presence that leads to real connection, recognition, and results.
